Grease Filter Exchange in Byfleet
Need grease filter exchange in Byfleet? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
What happens if it’s left?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Around Byfleet, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Grease filter exchange in Byfleet, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow through the filters and grease filters clogged with grease.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Byfleet gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a place like Byfleet, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Byfleet
There are about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Byfleet, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Fire safety in Byfleet falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Woking council inspect food businesses in Byfleet. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Byfleet, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Runnymede Hospital is the nearest hospital to Byfleet, about 3.5 miles north-west.
Byfleet is about 3 miles south-west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Sites in Byfleet get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, large and small. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 8 miles away.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Other services in Byfleet
Byfleet: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Byfleet?
Fire safety enforcement in Byfleet is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Byfleet?
Yes, Byfleet is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When to call us in Byfleet
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A canopy that drips grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
For kitchens close to Byfleet & New Haw station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
